Only 22 days for these ones. Last ones I had took 21 days.

How old are the mice? Are you sure of their gender? (Usually it's very easy. The moment you place the male and female together they try to mate. Make sure the territory is neutral first though or they may fight and kill each other. That happened to my previous mouse Cream. I washed the male's cage but I guess it still smelled enough like him for him to become territorial.)

The reason I ask for age is because after a certain age it becomes dangerous to breed the female. (I hear males still produce er... everything they need to to mate... even when they are older.)

Information I used when breeding was found on http://www.thefunmouse.com/info/index.cfm

Pictures updated for the sake of... showing how the babies are doing and showing what they look like 4ish days later.



I can see I'll probably have some that take after their father.

how are they now?

Furry and adorable.



Them at 27 days. Today is the 28 day (also known as the day I am to separate them by gender.)

Don't ask me how I got 6 gray mice from 1 yellow and 1 black. The genetics section in the mouse faq I was following confused me as did the people at mouse forum. (While asking is encouraged over there they do not take kindly to people making mistakes. O_O)
